@lifewithkatiedonnelly: Dandelion Carrot Cake 🥕 Here is the recipe below @Jazzy 😊 You can bake these in a regular size muffin tin. If you use terracotta pots just make sure they are seasoned. Ingredients: 2 c peeled and grated carrots 1 c all-purpose flour 3/4th c granulated sugar 1/2 c dandelion flower petals 1/2 c vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4th tsp sea salt Cream Cheese Frosting: 2 c powdered sugar 4 oz cream cheese softened 3 TB butter softened 1 tsp vanilla dandelion flower petals for decorating (optional) Instructions: After you have picked your dandelions, remove the petals from the head with kitchen sheers. We will only be using the petals for this recipe. Soak in a mix of 3 parts water and 1 part vinegar for 5-10 minutes. Drain of the water, rinse and dab dry with a paper towel. I even gave mine a gentle squeeze before laying out on a paper towel to air dry. After you have prepared your dandelion petals. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. I lined 10 preseasoned 2-inch clay flower pots and 1 preseasoned 3.5-inch clay terracotta pot with parchment paper and filled them 1/4th inch from the top. This recipe is also enough to fill one regular 12-cup muffin pan lined with paper. In a mixing bowl cream together the eggs, sugar, and oil with a wire whisk or hand mixer. Add in the grated carrots and the rest of the dry ingredients. Folding in the dandelion petals at the very end. Use a 1/3rd cup measure to scoop the batter into the muffin tins or fill the preseasoned flower pots 3/4th full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they have formed a nice dome on the top and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow them to completely cool before frosting. To make the frosting with a hand held mixer cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until its thick enough to keep its shape when decorating. #dandelions #baking #carrotcake #carrotcakerecipe #bakingwithdandelions #terracotta #bakinginterracotta #springbaking #dandelion #edibleflowers
